7.2.1.2 Bus Grant (BG)—Input

State

Asserted

Indicates that the 750GX may, with proper qualification, assume mastership

 

 

of the address bus. A qualified bus grant occurs when BG is asserted and

 

 

ABB and ARTRY are not asserted on the bus cycled following the assertion

 

 

of AACK.

 

 

 

 

 

Note that the assertion of

BR

is not required for a qualified bus grant (to allow

 

 

bus parking).

 

Negated

Indicates that the 750GX is not granted next address-bus ownership.

Timing

Assertion

May occur on any cycle. Once the 750GX has assumed address-bus owner-

 

 

ship, it will not begin checking for BG again until the cycle after AACK.

 

Negation

Must occur whenever the 750GX must be prevented from starting a bus

 

 

transaction. The 750GX will still assume address-bus ownership on the cycle

 

 

BG is negated if BG was asserted in the previous cycle with other bus grant

 

 

qualifications.

7.2.1.3 Address Bus Busy (ABB)

The address bus busy (ABB) signal is both an input and an output signal.

Address Bus Busy (ABB)Output

State

Asserted

Indicates that the 750GX is the current address-bus owner. The 750GX will

 

 

not assume address-bus ownership if the bus request is internally cancelled

 

 

by the cycle a qualified BG would have been recognized.

 

Negated

Indicates that the 750GX is not the current address-bus owner.

Timing

 

 

Assertion

Occurs the cycle after a qualified

BG

is accepted by the 750GX, and remains

 

 

asserted for the duration of the address tenure.

 

Negation

Negates for a fraction of a bus cycle (one-half minimum, depends on clock

 

 

mode) starting the cycle following the assertion of AACK. Then releases to

 

 

the high impedance state.
